About the Item
Fascinating and rare wooden puppet depicting a skeleton, dating from the 19th century and probably of European origin. This piece hand-carved with extraordinary attention to anatomical detail, giving it a realistic yet evocative appearance. Movable joints, joined by small pins and strings, allow the puppet to be easily steered, making it an ideal specimen for both collectors of period theater objects and lovers of the macabre and gothic.
The original patina and signs of time accentuate its historical appeal, testifying to its use in puppet theater or traveling shows. An outstanding addition to any collection of folk art or esoteric antiques.
